Photography Fundamentals is designed to introduce each student to an array of digital photographic techniques used in the studio, on location and in post-production aspects that include Adobe®, Lightroom® and Photoshop® fundamentals. Using digital SLR cameras, students will have an opportunity to visit and explore multiple locations throughout the greater Cleveland area over a multiple day span, while learning about photo composition and proper camera handling skills. Each student will learn how to print their own work to bring home at week’s end. *Campers are encouraged to bring their own camera, or are welcome to borrow a camera by completing a signed waiver prior to the start of camp.
